Ranking power. Scorecards electricity companies

摘要: The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) has launched its global Power Switch public campaign aiming to persuade the power sector to become carbon neutral by mid of the 21st century. Clearly this is an important contribution to global greenhouse gas reductions as the power sector is responsible for 37% of global CO2 emissions. To support this campaign a report to develop scorecards for individual power companies was commissioned. This report aims at influencing the future behaviour of larger electricity companies in terms of fuel mix and investment choices via their (potential) customers and their (potential) investors. The overall goal is to stimulate the use of renewable energy sources (RES) and gas-CHP for electricity production. Scorecards for electricity companies are included for three regions: Region 1: Western Europe and Russia Region 2: US and Canada Region 3: Japan and Australia.
